Weight Watchers Update + Recipes

Hello friends!
Happy Tuesday!

I want to give you a brief update on my Weight Watchers journey. As you may know, I started WW last Monday (today marks day 9). And so far I am loving it!

Growing up, I was a ballet dancer. I never in my life had to watch what I ate. I danced at least 4-5 days a week, for 3+ hours at a time. I never dieted or was even aware of what I was eating due to the fact that I was sooo active. 

Well, unfortunately, as soon as I stopped dancing at age 20, my metabolism slowed way down, but my eating habits never changed. I never really noticed the weight gain until this last year. I've tried various diets before, but ya'll, girlfriend likes food. Diets always discourage me and I give up with in a few days of starting.

Enter Weight Watchers.
It's all about portion control. I can eat what I want and don't have to deprive myself of the things I love (Chick-fil-A is my weakness). Last week I did so good. I never once went over my allotted points and I ate Chick-fil-A once and Mexican food once. 

And as of Sunday, I have lost 5 pounds!

Five pounds in 7 days. I am so encouraged to keep going!

Here's some yummy and healthy WW recipes:





If you're thinking about dieting or trying to lose some weight, I highly suggest trying Weight Watchers! For someone who is 100% anti-diet, this has worked wonderfully for me!

Have a blessed day! :)

Wow! You are doing phenomenal. I definitely can empathize; maybe I will have to give it a try. I really need to do something.

Congratulations to you! I can totally relate to your dilemma. I was a swimmer all through high school and college and never paid attention to what I ate due to my high level of exercise; when I stopped swimming, I gained weight but didn't really notice until recently. I haven't tried WW yet, but I'm thinking I might.
